The player from Canada had requested the permanent closure of her account due to reported gambling problems, but the casino did not take her request seriously. She sought reimbursement for her deposits and assistance in addressing her gambling issues. The Complaints Team determined that the casino's reopening of her account after a self-exclusion period, based on a signed waiver, was inappropriate and violated responsible gambling principles. Consequently, it was concluded that she was entitled to a full refund of her deposits made after her initial request for closure. The issue had been marked as resolved.
BlazeBet Casino - Player’s account closure request is ignored.

Hello, I asked the casino to permanently close my account because I have gambling problems that I reported. My request was not taken seriously. I could not afford to play. Responsible gaming is within their terms and conditions, but they did not respect my request. I would like to be reimbursed for my deposit and would like to receive help. Thank you.

Dear player,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem with BlazeBet Casino. I have checked the responsible gambling policy of the casino and have found the following information:
To self-exclude means to stop betting or gambling for a period of time which can either bet defined, or indefinite.
By implementing a self-exclusion on your account, you agree to the associated terms and conditions detailed on this page.
In the event you are unable to initiate a self-exclusion, assistance is available via our chat or email service.
You will not be able to access your account during your period of self-exclusion. While self excluded, you are not eligible for any form of benefits, bonuses or reloads.
Once a self-exclusion is applied to your account, it will stay in place until the period has lapsed. During your self-exclusion period, the self-exclusion may not be revoked. In the event of an indefinite self-exclusion, your account will remain self-excluded for a minimum time period of 6 months. The account will not be reactivated automatically and will be subject to an internal review upon your request.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely:
- Do I understand correctly that your account is still open?
- Please specify the first time you contacted the casino support to request self-exclusion.
- Did you send your request via email or live chat? Have you mentioned that you've been struggling with gambling problems?
- Would you be so kind as to forward me the self-exclusion requests that you sent to the casino? My email address is [email protected].
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Natalia

Hello, today my account is closed. I requested a permanent closure because I have gambling problems. I respected their terms and conditions. When a casino is serious, they take this request seriously. This is already the second time this has happened. They take advantage of a player's addiction. I couldn't afford to play. When a player declares gambling problems and requests a permanent closure, this must be taken seriously. It is a violation of their terms and conditions. I would like the casino to refund my deposits dated October 6th. Thank you.

Hello, the casino yesterday changed the terms and conditions of responsible gaming to defend itself. There should have been a 6-month deadline when a request is made definitively. Now they have changed it. It is too easy to take back problem players without worrying. This is a lack of seriousness on the part of the casino. You have also read the terms and conditions carefully. I have the evidence to support this. Kind regards, Rebecca.

Hello Blazebet, I wanted to write to you properly because you blocked me on the chat and by email. On September 12, I requested a permanent closure because I have gambling problems. 15 days later, I requested the reopening of my account on September 29. You made me sign a document and the same day my account was reopened. Then again, I requested a permanent closure on October 1 and on October 6, I requested the reopening and the account was still reopened. In addition, the day after my complaint, you changed your terms and conditions of responsible gaming. You know, if you do this with your addicted players, it really means that you do not respect your customers who are addicted. Gambling is a very serious illness that must really be taken seriously. A real responsible casino does not act like this. On the contrary, I would really like you to accept that I have respected your terms and conditions of responsible gaming. You made a mistake in making me sign a document without thinking and delay. You know that any player who is being treated will accept it. So that means that responsible gaming does not exist in your casino, please understand me and grant me that I reacted with protection for me and not you. Sincerely, Rebecca

Your detailed response is essential to ensure a fair, responsible, and transparent resolution of this matter.

Dear Casino Guru Team,
We would like to clarify the situation and provide a verified timeline of events to demonstrate that all actions were taken strictly in line with our Responsible Gaming Policy and Terms & Conditions.
📅 Timeline of Events
September 12:
The player requested permanent self-exclusion due to gambling-related concerns. In accordance with our Responsible Gaming procedures, the account was immediately closed.
September 29:
The player contacted us requesting to reopen the account.
As per policy, reopening was possible only after signing a formal declaration confirming that the player was:
• fully aware of their actions,
• in a healthy and conscious state, and
• no longer experiencing gambling problems.
Once the signed declaration was received, the account was reopened.
October 1:
The player requested account closure again, which was immediately executed.
October 6:
The player reached out once more to reopen the account.
Since the previously signed declaration remained valid, the reopening was processed based on her earlier written consent and explicit request.
At no point was the account reopened on our own initiative.
🔒 Compliance Notes
Our Terms & Conditions have remained unchanged for the past 7 months.
Each acceptance of the Terms & Conditions is timestamped and logged.
All deposits and gameplay after the reopening were processed correctly under standard game rules.
If the player had won, the withdrawal would have been honored; however, as the bets were lost, no refund applies.
All actions were taken in full compliance with our Responsible Gaming Policy, Terms & Conditions, and applicable regulations.
All relevant screenshots and the signed declaration are attached for reference.

Dear BlazeBet Casino,
Thank you for your clarification and for providing the additional evidence.
From our perspective, reopening an account that was closed due to a gambling problem can only be considered appropriate after a significant period of time - typically several years - when it can reasonably be assumed that the player has received proper treatment and regained control over their behavior. It is not possible for such recovery to occur within just 17 days.
When a player reaches out for help with a gambling problem, a casino that is genuinely committed to responsible gambling should take proactive measures to protect that player from further harm. Providing a declaration or "waiver letter" for the player to sign in order to reopen their account falls entirely outside the principles of responsible gambling. In this case, the only party protected by such a document is the casino, not the player.
It is well known that a person struggling with gambling addiction may agree to anything in order to continue gambling, which is why the responsibility for protection lies with the operator. Furthermore, the subsequent reopening of the account, justified by the claim that the previously signed waiver remained valid, is deeply concerning. The player had already expressed a gambling problem, and her behavior clearly indicated a plea for help. Instead of providing support and safeguarding her wellbeing, the casino allowed further gambling activity, seemingly prioritizing profit over player protection.
For these reasons, we strongly believe that the player is entitled to a refund of all deposits made during the period when the account should have remained permanently closed.
Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to your response.

Hello!
Thanks for the answer.
The player initially contacted us requesting account closure due to a claimed gambling problem. In full accordance with our responsible gambling procedures, the account was immediately closed.
Seventeen (17) days later, the player contacted us again, stating that she was in a stable and clear mental condition and wished to reopen her account.
Before reopening, the player voluntarily signed a formal waiver of liability confirming that:
- She does not suffer from a gambling problem
- She understands and accepts full responsibility for any future gaming activity.
It is important to note that this document was signed when the player had no active losses, no pending wagers, and no open deposits with the casino.
Therefore, the decision to reopen the account was made in a calm, rational, and emotionally stable state, free from any influence of loss aversion, frustration, or financial pressure.
After the account was reopened, the player proceeded to make new deposits and play entirely voluntarily. All wagers were accepted and settled fairly in accordance with our Terms and Conditions. The complaint was raised only after these voluntary wagers resulted in losses.
Had the outcomes been in the player’s favor, all winnings would have been paid in full — as has always been our practice. Therefore, a request to refund losses that resulted from fair and legitimate play cannot be justified or considered valid, as it would fundamentally distort the mathematical integrity of the games and the established house edge.
Refunding gameplay losses after outcomes are known would effectively remove the balance between risk and return — a core principle upon which all regulated gaming operates.
Furthermore, if Casino.Guru believes that a player who, in a calm and healthy state of mind, signs a legal document declaring the absence of any gambling problem should later be refunded for deposits made voluntarily — this would not fall under the definition of a gambling disorder.
Such behavior would instead suggest a psychiatric or cognitive issue that falls outside the scope of standard responsible gambling policies.
We are not medical or psychiatric professionals, nor are casino operators required or equipped to diagnose mental health conditions in individuals who present themselves as stable, logical, and self-aware — particularly when no losses were present at the time of signing.

Hello Blazebet, when I opened my account, I made a deposit, then I asked for the permanent closure of my gambling problems so as not to worsen my situation. On September 12, you have my deposit history, you prove once again your lack of seriousness. The casino guru will ask you for proof of what you say.

Dear Rebecca85,
Firstly, I would like to kindly ask you to refrain from excessive posting. Sharing around 30 messages within a 7-day period does not help to speed up the process or clarify the situation.
Additionally, your recent posts do not contain any new information - they simply repeat the same points already discussed. As mentioned in my previous message, I fully understand your position and am on your side in this matter, so there is no need to further reiterate your statements.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Dear BlazeBet Casino,
Thank you for your detailed response.
I would like to reiterate our position and address several points raised in your message.
First, while we acknowledge that the player signed a waiver stating she did not suffer from a gambling problem, such a document cannot override the operator’s fundamental responsibility to protect vulnerable individuals. The existence of a signed declaration does not, in itself, demonstrate that the player was genuinely free from gambling-related harm - especially when only 17 days had passed since she had explicitly self-excluded due to a gambling problem. From our perspective, this time frame is far too short to assume meaningful recovery or behavioral change.
Second, responsible gambling policies are not designed merely to ensure procedural compliance but to safeguard players from harm, particularly those who have already self-identified as experiencing gambling issues. The reopening of a self-excluded account on the basis of a waiver directly contradicts the principles of player protection. Such an approach shifts responsibility entirely onto the player - the very opposite of what responsible gambling standards require.
Third, the argument that the player’s subsequent gameplay was "voluntary" fails to recognize the nature of gambling addiction. A person struggling with such an issue cannot be considered fully autonomous in decisions related to gambling, even if they appear rational or calm at a given moment. It is precisely for this reason that operators are expected to maintain permanent exclusion once a gambling problem has been declared.
Finally, the notion that refunding the player’s deposits would "distort the mathematical integrity of the games" is not applicable here. This case does not concern a dispute over game fairness or outcomes, but rather a failure of responsible gambling duty. The losses in question occurred during a period when the account should have remained closed, which is why we maintain that the player is entitled to a refund of all deposits made after the reopening.
In summary, we respectfully but firmly disagree with your assessment. Based on the evidence provided, the player’s self-exclusion should have been treated as permanent, and the subsequent reopening of the account represents a breach of responsible gambling principles.
We therefore continue to believe that the player is eligible for a full refund of deposits made during that period.
Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to your further response.

Dear Casino Guru ,
We respectfully disagree with the assessment provided.
The player voluntarily signed a legally binding waiver while in a stable state of mind, confirming the absence of any gambling-related issues at that time. Such a document holds full legal validity, as no losses or disputes were present at the moment of signing.
However, as an exceptional gesture of goodwill, and to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth, we have decided to process a refund of the deposits in accordance with Casino.Guru’s recommended practices.
That said, we must emphasize that this situation directly concerns gambling law and responsible gaming procedures. If a player is considered to have a gambling disorder, this must be supported by objective evidence — not solely by post-loss claims. In this case, the waiver was signed under normal, stable conditions, and the player had full control over their decisions.
We also wish to note that repeated misuse of responsible gaming claims after voluntary play distorts the operator’s mathematical edge and can be unfair to both the casino and other players. Such cases are more common than acknowledged, and we believe this aspect deserves greater consideration.
While we will honor this exception, we strongly recommend that Casino.Guru reviews its approach regarding legally signed documents, as they do carry enforceable value in any jurisdiction. Casino.Guru is not a judicial authority, and while we respect your platform, we maintain that the full context and legal weight of the agreement were not adequately considered in this case.

Hello, I would like to report that Blazebet has not informed me of the refund amount, nor has it asked me for a payment method. They are not communicating clearly with me and are providing vague information. Sincerely, Rebecca
